The first link asked me to purchase from an archive (and since I am the Cop in Wilmington NC) I was too cheap to pay to read it.But, I am sure that NY has nothing on NC.

ex98thdrill Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I think back in the late 60's they found a trap door in a ticket booth at a race track in Georgia that led down to a monnshine still. This is what got me to thinking.MC, I got you confused with someone else as being the Wilmington cop. Sorry about that. I've been to Wilmington on several occassions over the last 20 years, but I don't even know where the Wilmington PD is located, let alone being a cop down there.

ex98thdrill Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Are you talking about Rochester, New York (GVACS Region??). If you are referring to that group, I'm one of them, and I don't believe that my father sent his entry blank in yet, so you have at least one more vehicle. We'll be staying down across from BCC (where I thought the show was going to be), on Saturday night after the awards, we're loading back up and heading to Utica for the Fountain Elms Invitational (concourse).We should be there Friday morning by 10 at the latest.

ex98thdrill Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Well Dick, look for the old Ford fire truck from Canandaigua, NY (that spent 29 years protecting the properties where the 1975 Glidden Tour, and 1990 AGNM hosted by GVACS were held). We had the truck at Hershey, but the restoration on the fire truck was so fresh that we never had the time to have it rubbed out, pinstriped and lettered prior to the show. At Hershey, we were still buying parts for the truck on Wednesday and Friday and spent all day Thursday and a lot of Friday night putting the truck together before the Hershey meet. Despite all of that, we managed to pull a First Junior on a truck that back on July 4, 2006 only had the cab on the frame, and everything else on the truck was still untouched from 1942. Needless to say we ran so short on time that we never had time to go to DMV to get the plates for the fire truck. To our good fortune, the Derry Township Police was too busy to do anything about it. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />Unless something happens between now and the show, we should be able to have the truck rubbed out, striped, and lettered and have everything done to the level that it should be done at. There usually aren't too many old Ford fire trucks that show up at a national meet, so even if we still don't have time to get the truck lettered, I should be easy to find. If you can't find me, my dad will be there with the '37 Plymouth pickup. That's also not too common of a vehicle so he should be easy to find as well. At any rate, one, if not both of us, will be at either vehicle. With the fire truck going for a Senior and the pickup going for a Repeat Preservation, the emphasis will be placed on the fire truck.We'll also be there for Judging School and the roundtable.

Our Region President also plans to bring his Chrysler there as well, and as of Sunday afternoon, has yet to enter his car either.You should see a pretty good representation from GVACS.
